TSN <\/a>is reporting tonight that the Saskatchewan Roughriders have traded<\/a> last year’s Most Outstanding Player in the CFL, quarterback Kerry Joseph, to the Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n

That trade is a little weird from a couple of perspectives. Who trades the reigning Most Outstanding Player? Secondly, the Boatmen just finished resolving a quarterback controversy last year, when Michael Bishop (apparently permanently) inherited the reins of the Argonaut offence from All-Time-All-World-All-Star Damon Allen, who seemed to finally succumb to the laws of the universe and began showing his age. Result? Seems to me that the Boatmen have a logjam in the pivot position again.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the new Tiger Cats GM Bob O’Billovich has been quietly making a number of signings and trades – receivers<\/a>, receivers<\/a>, defensive <\/a>backs and a running back<\/a>. So far, I am impressed – but a little disappointed that defensive back Dwight Anderson has been released – Spouse and I bought Ticats jerseys late last year, and Spouse couldn’t decide between Richie Williams’ number and Anderson’s 28. I made the executive decision that it was poor form to purchase the third string quarterback’s jersey, so the order went in for an Anderson. I am convinced the Cats are going to be a better team this year. Whether or not they make the playoffs, I think, has more to do with how improved Montreal is over last year. The improvement in Montreal is probably most highly dependent on Anthony Calvillo’s situation – he left the team late last year because his wife was seriously ill.<\/p>\n

The first time Spouse wore it to a game, he promptly got involved in an on-field donnybrook with some Saskatchewan Roughriders, got thrown out of the game and following a confrontation with the Head Coach Charlie Taafe<\/a>, was let go.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>\u00a0 Spouse points out to me that I’m an idiot – Anderson wore number 20 – Lumsden is #28.\u00a0 Good thing she’s around to identify my idiocy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
